Hot flashes are sudden feelings of warmth, which are usually most intense over the face, neck and chest. Your skin may redden, just as if you were blushing. Hot flashes can also cause profuse sweating and may leave you chilled.
Although other hormonal conditions can cause them, hot flashes most commonly are due to menopause — the time of life when a woman's menstrual periods stop.
Depending on the person, hot flashes may occur a few times a week or several times a day. Hot flashes that occur at night can interrupt your sleep. If your hot flashes become particularly bothersome, a variety of treatments are available.

Intro & Disclaimer
Now that the summer is over and school is starting, the first phase of the off-season for the 2014 MLB Draft is complete. College summer leagues and the high school summer showcase season are over and, after seeing most of the top events/leagues and talking to scouts to fill in some holes, I've got a solid idea of where the draft class stands right now. Over the next few weeks, I'll walk through the whole draft class, breaking it up by state/region and high school/college, with today's first installment being the prep class of my home state, Florida.
It's important to note that while this list suggests there are 18 Florida prep prospects will go in the top 3 rounds (106 picks in the 2013 draft), that isn't what I'm suggesting. Once you get out of the top 8-10 players in this list, or the top two rounds, things get much harder to peg, even if this list was made the day of the draft. Between now and then, players get hurt, regress, their price tags don't match their talent and prospects get squeezed by the more limiting draft budgets ushered in by the new CBA. In addition, when you include late-round/over-slot bonuses, more than just the players picked in the top 106 picks get bonuses equivalent to talent level. There won't be 18 Florida prep prospects in my overall draft top 100 rankings (which will come out after this series is completed), but there will likely be double digits.
Class Overview
As for the state of Florida specifically, this is a much better crop than 2013 and is very concentrated in the Orlando area. In 2013, Florida preps had a presence in the top few rounds, but was down significantly from recent years (1st: 2B/C Christian Arroyo/Giants, 2nd: RHP Tyler Danish/White Sox, SS Oscar Mercado/Cardinals, 3B Tucker Neuhaus/Brewers, 3rd: LF Cord Sandberg/Phillies & 2nd round bonus in 5th round: LHP Sean Brady/Indians) with some very solid prospects going to school (C Chris Okey/Clemson, SS Ben DeLuzio/Florida State, 1B Zack Collins & RF Willie Abreu/Miami, 3B John Sternagel/Florida, RHP Nick Eicholtz/Alabama).
Numbers 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 on the list are all from the Orlando area, with a couple more within an hour or so. Normally, the state is split evenly between Miami, Tampa and Orlando with Jacksonville and the southwest coast pitching in a few players. Last year, Miami was terrible, Orlando was down some and Tampa was excellent, while this year Orlando has a historic haul with over half the top players in a strong crop.
Of this year's class, most of these players have been consistent throughout the summer though two Orlando-area players have emerged later in the summer: North Carolina commit 2B Forrest Wall breaking out at the East Coast Pro Showcase while Virginia commit CF/LHP Adam Haseley, who was though of as a better pitching prospect, is currently carrying the 18U Team USA on his back in Taiwan, hitting .500/.515/.833 in 32 PA. It's also worth noting #16 on the list, UCF commit RHP Kyle Marsh from the Daytona area, is a wildcard as he tore his ACL last March and hasn't pitched since but could move into the 2nd round with a strong spring. Even as an underclassman, Marsh had good buzz with scouts as a two-way standout on a prep powerhouse that was in the low 90's with a good breaking ball as a sophomore.
Recruiting Overview
It's easy to see Florida State has a very strong recruiting class this year and Florida has a great class coming in 2015, but it's not quite that simple. The top three players in the Seminoles 2014 class are likely to go in the top 50 picks/turn pro and it's still too early to be certain which prospects are pro guys and which should get to campus, key to evaluating recruiting classes. Florida's 2014 class may be better in the end, with one elite player from out of state (possible top 10 overall pick RHP Grant Holmes from South Carolina) and a litter of players in rounds 3-5 and below that should yield multiple college contributors while limiting losses to pro ball.
In the past few years, the Gators have had elite classes but have been gashed by the draft, so this looks to be a change in recruiting approach. UCF is doing a solid job along these lines and while they only have two players on this list, Virginia (class breakdown, other classes listed above) may be doing the best in the country among 2014 recruiting classes at stockpiling lots of players currently projected for rounds 3-6. It's easy to point out which programs are successful at this now, but many of these players commit as freshmen and sophomores in high school, so there's a good bit of lag time and margin for error in recruiting strategies.

* #32 prospect LF Joey Swinarski enrolled at Mississippi State this summer, making him eligible for the 2014 college season. He will forego being eligible for a draft until he's completed three years for the Bulldogs. I include him in this state ranking to give you an idea of his talent but he won't be in any future 2014 draft rankings.

*Subject of a $500,000 restoration
*Prominently featured in Tom Cotter's book The Cobra in the Barn
Newly restored and never shown, this magnificent 1930 Rolls-Royce Torpedo Transformal Phaeton by Hibbard & Darrin is documented to have been delivered new to Marlene Dietrich, one of the greatest film icons of Hollywood's golden age.
Born near Berlin in 1901, Dietrich became an international film star with her role in 1929's The Blue Angel, directed by Josef Von Sternberg. Shot with both German and English soundtracks, the film was the first major sound motion picture made in Berlin, a global center of Avant garde film production at the time. Dietrich sang what would become her signature song, "Falling in Love Again," in the movie.
On April 14, 1930, Marlene Dietrich arrived in Hollywood, to continue making films with von Sternberg, who had left Germany a few months earlier to work for Paramount Studios. In a letter written that evening, Dietrich mentioned that von Sternberg had greeted her at the train with two welcoming gifts from Paramount...a bouquet of flowers and a green Rolls-Royce.
That green Rolls-Royce is the very car offered here.
Dietrich and von Sternberg immediately set to work on the Paramount production, Morocco, with Gary Cooper and Adolphe Menjou co-starring. Remarkably, Dietrich's Rolls-Royce appears prominently in the movie's final scene. The big car was moved around on location in the California desert on an enormous sled, drug by a huge Caterpillar tractor.
Rolls-Royce factory records show that ownership of Springfield Phantom I chassis S317KP, with coachwork by Hibbard & Darrin, was formally transferred from Josef von Sternberg/Paramount Studios to Marlene Dietrich on November 26, 1930. A few days later, Morocco opened in movie theaters. Dietrich would receive an Oscar nomination for her performance in the film.
Dietrich was photographed several times with her sleek uber-luxury car for publicity purposes. Some of the resulting pictures are still frequently published today. Dietrich's daughter, Maria Riva, reminisces about the Rolls-Royce in her 1992 memoir, Marlene Dietrich. Maria recalls the big green carand its fascinating sculpted radiator ornamentwhen she, at age 6, joined her mother in California during 1931. Other childhood memories of the Rolls include shopping trips to Bullocks on Wilshire and runs to the beachalways with her mother's liveried chauffer, Harry, at the wheel.
Dietrich had a long career in film and, later, as a live entertainer. In 1939, the year she became an American citizen, Dietrich played a memorably comedic role in Destry Rides Again, a film co-starring Jimmy Stewart.
During World War II, Dietrich toured extensively with the USO, entertaining Allied troops in both European and Pacific theaters. In the 1950s, Dietrich chummed with Frank Sinatra and the "Rat Pack" in Las Vegas. She opened at the Sahara Hotel in 1953, receiving a then unprecedented $30,000 a week to perform. Poor health finally sidetracked one of the entertainment world's most enduring and unique personalities in the mid-1970s. Marlene Dietrich died at age 90 in 1992.
Documented ownership by an iconic movie star aside, S317KP carries an especially attractive and important example of a patented convertible design by Parisian coachbuilders Hibbard & Darrin. Between 1923 and 1931, "Carosserie Hibbard et Darrin" was operated by expat American partners Thomas L. Hibbard and Howard "Dutch" Darrin. The duo designed and built bodies for the finest automotive chassis available and served a clientele that included royalty, tycoons and celebrities.
Even as they consulted with other prestige automakers on design matters, Hibbard & Darrin represented Rolls-Royce in Paris during the late 1920s and their shop was the preferred coachbuilder for the automaker's cars sold there. Rolls-Royce records indicate Hibbard & Darrin built 35 bodies, of varying styles, for the American-built Rolls-Royce Springfield Phantom I chassis. These bodies were built to order in Paris and shipped "in the white" to America, where they were painted and trimmed by a Rolls-Royce approved coachbuilder (usually Brewster) before being installed.
"Dutch" Darrin personally designed, and held a patent for, the Torpedo Transformal Phaeton's distinctive convertible top treatment and trapezoidal-shaped side windows. With the top up, an inverted triangle-shaped flap fills the area between the retractable glass side windows, creating a weather-tight body with an elegant, intimate appearance. With top and side windows down, the style is that of a sporting dual-cowl phaeton.
The Torpedo Transformal body construction is also unusual. All major body elements are aluminum alloyconventional custom bodies of the period were typically fabricated with metal panels over a wood framework. The Transformal's doors are single-piece aluminum alloy castings. Hibbard & Darrin marketed their innovative rattle-resistant and light-weight aluminum body structure under the trade name Sylentlite (silent-light).
Most Hibbard & Darrin commissions were for formal town cars and it is thought only one additional long-wheelbase Torpedo Transformal was built. The sporty two-piece Vee-windshield design appearing on the Dietrich car is, however, thought to be unique to the car.
Several coachbuilders were licensed by Hibbard & Darrin to build a very few bodies in the Torpedo Transformal style, including Derham in the U.S., Castagna in Italy, and T.H. Gill in England.
According to Maria Riva's book, Marlene Dietrich eventually supplanted her green Rolls-Royce with a Cadillac V-16 town car, custom equipped with a large trunk in preparation for a European tour. The year that she actually gave up ownership of her cherished Rolls is not known.
By the 1940s, the ex-Dietrich Rolls-Royce had come into the possession of Colorado rancher and pioneer car collector J. R. "Bob" Creighton, who subsequently became the car's second owner of record in the Roll-Royce files.
In 1960, Bob Creighton's then 16-year old niece successfully took her driver's test at the wheel of the Dietrich caran occasion that generated local press coverage. The young woman had learned to drive the massive car on her uncle's ranch. At that time, the car's odometer read 64,000 miles.
The Rolls-Royce was inherited by Bob Creighton's daughter in the mid-1970s. A family member commenced a restoration attempt, an initiative that never got beyond stripping the body down to bare metal, rechroming some parts and painting the chassis. The partially disassembled car then languished in storage for two decades.
In 1995, a noted mid-western collector learned of the car's continuing existence and was able to obtain it from the Creighton family heirs. The full story of this amazing, truly once-in-a-lifetime "barn find" is told in Tom Cotter's book, The Cobra in the Barn.
In 2007, the still unrestored Dietrich Rolls-Royce was sold to the late mega-collector John O'Quinn. The sale agreement allocated $500,000 to a total "turn-key" restoration that restore the car to the as-new condition and appearance it evidence on the day Marlene Dietrich first set eyes on it in 1930.
Restorer Rick Hamlin's Classic Body Works agreed to take on the extensive project. The body was completely disassembled, revealing fascinating details of the Hibbard & Darrin aluminum construction. Paint chips found beneath the windshield frame correlated period reports that the body was originally finished in a medium green that had tiny flecks of gold mixed in, a step that gave the paint a rich sparkle in bright sunlight. The special paint was recreated for the restoration.
Remnants of the original interior were a guide for authenticity inside the car. The car's exquisite book-matched wood veneers were expertly reconditioned. The unusual original rearview mirror was missing and was painstakingly recreated.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom I six-cylinder 468-cid (7.6L) engine and attendant mechanical and chassis systems were dismantled, cleaned and rebuilt/repaired as necessary.
Work on the restoration was at last completed in 2010 and the Dietrich Rolls-Royce is here offered in its freshly restored state by the O'Quinn estate collection. Never shown, fully authenticated and marvelously restored, the Marlene Dietrich Rolls-Royce Phantom I is certain to be welcomed to the world's most prestigious Concours d'Elegance shows.
The golden age of film-making and the classic era of automotive design are uniquely intertwined in the well-documented provenance of this magnificent and historically important car, which has never heretofore been offered publically.
Here is an automobile loaded with genuine star power. It will be a delight to own and is sure to be a 'show stopper' whenever and wherever it might appear.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Quick turn around
Peacock Pizzazz Rectangle Invitations My daughter, the bride, and I enjoyed being able to change the color of the card to match her color scheme. It was also great to be able to add information by just sending the addition with the order. We had a quick turn around which was wonderful so I can check one more thing off our list of "things to do".
Bold Whispers Rectangle Invitations I loved my save the dates and now got my invitations! I love them! I love that you can change them around to your colors, photos and text. I wish you could add extra text boxes or change sizing on the text box, but other than that this was great!
Signature of Love Rectangle Invitations I recently purchased the rectangle invitations, RSVP cards and enclosers. The invitations came within 5-7 days of purchase. The website is easy to use to make any changes in color, font, and wording. I completely changed the wording of the sample and it still looked really nice. I used the black border with the indigo accent color. The indigo looked a little more on the purple side of the color spectrum than it appears online. If you are thinking about the indigo color I would suggest selecting a lighter color like the royal blue. The indigo color does not pop out against the black border. I purchased the linen paper. The quality is good. The paper is thick and looks like you spent a lot of money. Not flimsy. I also used the return address service. The only complaint I have would be about the envelopes. The envelopes didn't match the quality of the invitation. The envelopes were very thin. You could see the invitation through it. It's so thin you can read the invitation through the envelope. An inner lining or second envelope would solve that problem but I didn't see anywhere that you can purchase a liner or inner envelope.
Beautiful invitation!
Signature of Love Rectangle Invitations I didn't know what to expect in the way of quality. It is an amazing card stock quality. the colors are rich and beautiful!
Signature of Love Rectangle Invitations My soon to be husband and I are so happy with how our invitations turned out! They are a perfect representation of our personalities. The quality is more than what we expected for the amazingly affordable price. The only problem we had along the way was with the sizing of the text boxes and seeing something with our eye that looked to fit, but then according to the page/site it did not fit. In the end it all worked out and I can't wait to send out the invites and one day look back at them in a keepsake book!

Heisman options beyond Newton don't come without own baggage
Story Highlights
LaMichael James, Kellen Moore likeliest challengers to Cam Newton for Heisman
Newton first in SEC to get 2,000 yards passing, 1,000 yards rushing in one season
Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon has caught 16 TDs, tops in the nation
Unlike any Heisman Trophy race before it, this one is defined and tangled in a mess of allegations, speculations and uncertainties.
If Cam Newton had never been implicated in a pay-for-play scandal, if his character had never come into question because of past academic improprieties, the only debate would be over who would finish second to the Auburn quarterback in the Heisman voting.
But it's not that simple.
Last week the Watchman stated his case as to why these reports won't impact my voting, but as the storm clouds continue to build over the loveliest village on the plains, the question has to be asked: if Newton doesn't win the Heisman, then who will?
That's where it gets tricky. The most logical choices are Oregon's LaMichael James, the nation's leading rusher and the most dangerous weapon on the nation's most dangerous offense, and Boise State's Kellen Moore, the cool, polished passer who rarely looks like he's breaking a sweat.
Both generate their own debates.
James' numbers -- he's on pace to break the Pac-10 sophomore rushing record -- can't be ignored, and neither can his past. Last March he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment, and if character suddenly becomes a sticking point amid the Newton controversy, will that transgression cost James?
Moore's battling the specter of the past and voters' tendencies. No player from outside the current BCS conferences has won the Heisman since consecutive victories by Houston's Andre Ware in 1989 and BYU's Ty Detmer in 1990. In the 20 years since, only one non-BCS player has finished higher than third in voting (San Diego State's Marshall Faulk in 1992). Therein may lay the biggest test of the Bronco's legitimacy. Earning a lofty ranking among voters whose names are public is one thing, but getting 900-some anonymous voters (outside the living Heisman winner) to get behind him would truly signal a change in the landscape of the game.
If pressed I'd likely pick James. He has more total yards, averages more yards per game and has more TDs than any other RB despite sitting out a game. In two matchups with Top 25 teams he ran for 496 yards and six TDs. In the end, though, either James or Moore would seem a suitable replacement for Newton, but that's the optimum word -- replacement. This season has been defined by Newton -- for better, and potentially for worse -- which is why trying to anoint a potential new Heisman leader simply feels forced.
Before I unveil this week's top 10 contenders, here's a look back at how the Watchman stacked things up after Week 10.
Last Week: 12-of-15 passing for 148 yards, two TDs and one INT; 30 rushes for 151 yards and two TDs in 49-31 win over Georgia
Season: 135-of-198 passing for 2,038 yards, 21 TDs and six INTs; 206 rushes for 1,297 yards and 17 TDs; two receptions for 42 yards and one TD; one punt for 22 yards
If the allegations are getting to Newton, you'd never know it by his on-field production -- or his postgame comments, since he wasn't made available to the media. He was brilliant as the Tigers clinched the SEC West, accounting for at least four TDs for the sixth time this year as he became the eighth player in NCAA history and the first in the conference with 2,000 yards passing and 1,000 rushing in a single season.
Next Up: Friday, Nov. 26 at No. 10 Alabama
Last Week: 29 rushes for 91 yards; two receptions for 11 yards in 15-13 win over Cal
Season: 225 rushes for 1,422 yards and 17 TDs; 10 receptions for 149 yards and one TD
The Duck had a few less push-ups to do as Cal kept James out of the end zone for the first time since the Rose Bowl and held him to a career-low 3.1 yards per carry. But the most concerning sight was James being helped off the field with an ankle injury. He was on crutches after the game but insisted he's fine. He'll get a week off before facing the Pac-10's top rushing defense.
Next Up: Saturday. Nov. 26 vs. No. 23 Arizona
Last Week: 19-of-26 passing for 216 yards and three TDs in 52-14 win over Idaho
Season: 174-of-242 passing for 2,588 yards, 24 TDs and four INTs; one reception for seven yards and one TD; one punt for 54 yards
The nation's most efficient passer flashed his inner gunslinger -- and showed he's got a little improve in his game. Flushed from the pocket, Moore scrambled left and threw on the run to Gabe Linehan in the back of the end zone for a 21-yard TD, capping his day as the Broncos won their 23rd straight game and kept the Governor's Trophy for the 12th straight year. Now Moore turns his sights toward another rivalry trophy -- the Milk Can.
Next Up: Friday vs. Fresno State
Last Week: Nine receptions for 145 yards and one TD in 33-16 win over Texas
Season: 84 receptions for 1,430 yards and 16 TDs; four rushes for 77 yards and one TD; one blocked punt recovery for a TD
The breakout star of the season just keeps delivering. For the third straight game Blackmon had over 100 yards receiving in the first half as he's now hauled in a nation's-best 16 receiving TDs. Through 10 games he's averaging 158.8 receiving yards per game, putting him on pace for a higher average than Michael Crabtree in either of his Biletnikoff-winning seasons and the highest in FBS since Nevada's Trevor Insley averaged 187.3 yards per game in 1999.
Next Up: Saturday at Kansas
Last Week: 33-of-41 passing for 292 yards and one INT; three rushes for three yards in 17-13 win over Arizona State
Season: 208-of-299 passing for 2,505 yards, 22 TDs and seven INTs; 46 rushes for 373 yards and three TDs; one reception for 11 yards
It wasn't pretty. Arizona State's pass rush was getting to Luck as he committed two turnovers in Sun Devils' territory and for the first time this season he failed to throw a TD pass. But he came through when it mattered, hitting on all four of his pass attempts in leading the Cardinal on a 10-play, 85-yard drive to set up the decisive score and keep Stanford's Rose Bowl hopes alive.

Update: How to take photos of Shuttle Endeavour landing in Los Angeles
Karen Bleier/AFP/Getty Images
The Space Shuttle Discovery, aboard a specially modified NASA Boeing 747, flies over the Washington, DC, April 17, 2012, as seen from Arlington, Virginia.
Space fans and photo nerds will have a great chance to create a memorable photograph this Friday as the shuttle Endeavour glides into Los Angeles. The retired orbiter made 25 trips into space, and Friday will mark its final day in the air. It is expected to enter L.A. airspace at about 11:30 a.m. and is expected to land at LAX by 12:45p.m., weather permitting.
Check our Twitter or the KPCC homepage for updates.
Here at KPCC we'd like to see your photos of the Endeavour when it soars over Los Angeles and lands at LAX. Check out our photo recommendations below and send in your images to email@example.com or use the hashtag #KPCCShuttle on Twitter or Instagram and we'll find it.
Gear: The Endeavour flight will be a once-in-a-lifetime photo op, so you'll want to bring out your pro-camera gear to capture the historic moment. The shuttle will be piggybacked onto NASA's modified 747 and flying at around 1,500 feet when it reaches Los Angeles. At that height, your iPhone just won't cut it; you'll be able to capture a little space shuttle speck, but that's about it.

Hi. I want to buy a one-piece Toto UltraMax II to replace an old toilet that sits under a narrow ("banjo") extension of a vanity countertop. I need to find out whether a 1/2" clearance is sufficient to lift and remove this toilet's tank lid when necessary. There's a fraction more height under the countertop but its outer edge is 29 1/4" high. The toilet's height is 28 3/4" so I know I'm cutting it close. But in the diagrams it looks like the lid slopes and does not have much of a lip, so it could work albeit a little awkwardly. I'd appreciate advice on this. Thanks. SusanS

Voltorb is very similar to its older brother Electrode. It has a decent Special Attack stat and blinding Speed. Voltorb is one of the three Pokemon in the tier that can reach 20 Speed, meaning it outspeeds all Pokemon that aren't holding a Choice Scarf. Combine that fact with a wide movepool and Voltorb can deal quite a lot of damage. Unfortunately, Voltorb is rather frail, and will lose a lot of health to relatively weak attacks. Overall, Voltorb is a Pokemon that can almost always accomplish its task, whether it is setting up weather or sweeping.
With its combination of high Speed, good coverage, and useful utility moves, Voltorb can succeed at disrupting and destroying popular leads. Defensively weak leads get hit by a STAB Thunderbolt from Voltorb's decent Special Attack stat. Hidden Power Ice is used for near perfect coverage alongside Thunderbolt, and gives Voltorb a chance against Gligar and Diglett leads (though in order to beat Diglett, Sucker Punch must be used), although Phanpy will barely be scratched by it. Taunt stops weather and Stealth Rock leads from fulfilling their objectives, but watch out as many Stealth Rock leads carry Earthquake. Protect and Sucker Punch beat the common Fake Out leads, such as Meowth and Chimchar, by avoiding their Fake Out or breaking their Focus Sash, respectively. Finally, when Voltorb's usefulness comes to an end, Explosion is devastatingly powerful even from only 10 Attack, often knocking a Pokemon out along with it.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Thanks to its high Speed, Voltorb can act as a great Rain Dance supporter. Even with Voltorb's frailness, it has decent enough bulk to avoid being OHKOed by most opponents. It has access to a powerful STAB Thunder, which is granted perfect accuracy in the rain. Thunder also has a 30% chance to paralyze that is useful for slowing down Choice Scarf users. The best part about Voltorb is its access to Explosion, which can deal with Pokemon that are too bulky and give a free switch-in to a Swift Swim sweeper. Taunt stops opponents that try to set up on the same turn as Voltorb, which is especially important against Trick Room teams as they give most rain teams trouble. Light Screen is an option to help your rain-abusing sweepers last longer, and gives Voltorb something useful to do when given free turns; for example, it is useful against Protect users that try to stall out the rain. Hidden Power Ice can be used over Taunt or Light Screen to hit Gligar and Diglett. However, a fast Taunt is almost too good to pass up because of how badly Rain Dance teams are countered by Trick Room teams. If your team has troubles with Snover, Hidden Power Fire is an option to eliminate the tree, but it doesn't have much use outside of that.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Because of its average Special Attack stat, Voltorb appreciates having the ability to boost its Special Attack stat via Charge Beam. This, in conjunction with great Speed, can allow Voltorb to sweep through a weakened team. The strategy is quite simple. Substitute should be used first, enabling Voltorb to scout the opponent's switch-in, avoid being hit by Sucker Punch, and judge what to do next. If Voltorb can KO a Pokemon with Charge Beam, then do not pass up the opportunity to get a Special Attack boost. If Voltorb can KO the Pokemon with a +1 Thunderbolt, use Charge Beam once, then hit it hard with a boosted Thunderbolt. Proceed to sweep your opponent's team with Voltorb's boosted Thunderbolt and Hidden Power Ice, which cover every Pokemon bar Chinchou.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Both Choice Scarf and Choice Specs can be used, but there are several threatening and common Ground-types that would just love the free turn a Voltorb locked into Electric attacks provides. Choice Scarf Voltorb can outpace almost every Pokemon in Little Cup, but with Voltorb's merely average Special Attack, it lacks the raw power to threaten many Pokemon. Choice Specs brings a welcome boost to Special Attack, allowing Voltorb to hit hard immediately, as opposed to Charge Beam which takes a turn of setup; however, losing the ability to switch moves is a heavy price to pay.
Magnet Rise and Thunder Wave are decent moves, but Voltorb will usually be better off attacking right off the bat. Magnet Rise helps against Ground-type leads since Voltorb can outspeed them all, and they will have trouble knocking it out without their super effective STAB attacks. Thunder Wave can be used to slow down incoming Pokemon, but Voltorb will rarely benefit from this itself as it is one of the fastest Pokemon in the tier.
Hidden Power Ice can be replaced by Hidden Power Grass or Ground to hit Pokemon such as Chinchou for super effective damage. Hidden Power Ground hits Magnemite, while Hidden Power Grass obliterates Pokemon such as Wooper, who is hit for an easy OHKO. On the Rain Dance set, Hidden Power Water is viable; it strikes most targets harder when rain is up, but loses the invaluable OHKO on Gligar.
Checks and Counters
Diglett can come in safely on Thunder Wave or a STAB attack and OHKO Voltorb with Earthquake, but has big problems with a super effective Hidden Power and Speed ties with Voltorb. Bronzor can sponge any of Voltorb's attacks and KO it with Earthquake. Priority attacks such as Houndour's Sucker Punch, Meowth's Fake Out, and Dratini's ExtremeSpeed can put a massive dent in Voltorb. Gligar is immune to Electric, doesn't mind being Taunted, and OHKOs Voltorb handily with STAB Earthquake, though it needs to watch out for Hidden Power Ice. Munchlax and Chinchou both counter Voltorb pretty well, but Voltorb can Explode on them. Rock- and Ground-types such as Rhyhorn and Geodude have high Defense, resist Explosion, and are immune to Thunderbolt and Thunder Wave, but can't take a super effective Hidden Power unless sandstorm is in effect. Magnemite can easily counter any Voltorb (bar Hidden Power Ground variants) because of its resistances to Thunderbolt, Hidden Power Ice and Grass, Explosion, and Sucker Punch. However Magnemite cannot really do much in return if it doesn't carry Hidden Power Ground.
The best revenge killers are those that have a high offensive stat, are immune to Electric, and carry a Choice Scarf. Gible is one great example as it can easily outspeed Voltorb by one Speed point and KO it with STAB Earthquake. Likewise, Diglett can use a Choice Scarf to outspeed, trap, and KO Voltorb quite reliably, though it must beware of switching in on a Substitute.

Manatee braces for school closings
Date: May 4, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Although no confirmed cases of the swine flu have been identified in Manatee County as of Monday, Manatee County Public Schools officials are asking parents to beginning planning for the possibility of school closings.
The district, in cooperation with the Manatee County Health Department, made this announcement following a probable case identified in Hillsborough County that resulted in the closing of three Hillsborough schools, district officials said.
The purpose of closing schools is to decrease contact among children to reduce their risk of getting sick and to limit the spread of the influenza. The length of school closings could range from a few days to a couple of weeks, so parents should begin to arrange daycare plans for students should their school be closed.
If a school is going to be closed, parents and staff will be contacted via the district's Connect-Ed phone messaging system, a letter sent home with students and through local media such as YourObserver.com. Until an official decision to close a school is made, normal absentee procedures remain in place for all district schools.
If a probable or confirmed case is diagnosed and a school is closed, it is important that students from those schools stay away from other people and groups as much as possible. They should not gather in other locations such as shopping malls, movie theaters or community centers.
Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat and body aches. If someone in your family has symptoms that might indicate influenza, make sure they see a health care provider quickly for diagnosis.
Here are some tips for helping family members who are sick with the swine flu:
• Have them drink a lot of liquid (juice, water).
• Keep the sick person as comfortable as possible.
• Rest is important.
• Keep tissues and a trash bag within reach of the sick person.
• Be sure everyone in your home washes their hands frequently.
• Keep the people who are sick with the flu away from the people who are not sick.
For more information on the Swine Flu please visit any of the following Web sites:
In addition, a toll-free information line has been established to address questions about Swine Flu from the public. The phone number is 1-800-342-3557 and it is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Breaking down the NCAA women's tournament field region by region
Story Highlights
No. 1 overall seed Baylor could become first men's or women's team to finish 40-0
A loss to UConn does little to change Notre Dame's ability to dominate Raleigh
Stanford's Nnemkadi Ogwumike is the nation's most tournament-tested player
State of the No. 1: Baylor
The Lady Bears have the opportunity to become the first men's or women's basketball team to finish a season 40-0. That's strong motivation for any team, and coach Kim Mulkey has been unafraid to tell her squad (and everyone else) that Baylor has the talent to win it all. The Lady Bears are a deep team led by a transcendent player (junior center Brittney Griner), an All-America sophomore point guard (Odyssey Sims) and athletic forwards and guards (Kimetria Hayden, Jordan Madden and Brooklyn Pope and Destiny Williams) who know their roles and play tough defense. Baylor has won its games by an average of 27.3 points this season and has held teams to 31 percent shooting from the field. The Bears are as strong a lock for the Final Four as any No 1 seed in history.
Players To Watch: Elena Delle Donne (Delaware), Taylor Gault (Arkansas-Little Rock), Jennifer George (Florida), Brittney Griner (Baylor), Jordan Hooper (Nebraska), Glory Johnson (Tennessee), Anna Martin (DePaul), Samantha Prahalis (Ohio State), Sugar Rodgers (Georgetown), Shekinna Stricklen (Tennessee), Odyssey Sims (Baylor), Haley Steed (BYU), Callan Taylor, (Sacred Heart), and Destiny Williams (Baylor).
Bracketbuster: Nebraska
If the Huskers get by No. 11 Kansas, they'll face a Delaware team that has a future pro in Delle Donne but a light resume (a 2-1 record against teams with a Top 20 RPI this season) against the big dogs. Nebraska coach Connie Yori has a young team, but it showed impressive grit in the Big 10 tournament. Both sophomore forward Jordan Hooper (19.2 ppg) and junior guard Lindsey Moore (15.8) can score.
Juiciest Matchup: Tennessee-Delaware (possible Sweet 16)
How cool would it be to see Delle Donne take on a beatable Tennessee team? The All-America forward would probably have to shoot 25 times for the Blue Hens to realistically have a shot -- and Tennessee would need to have a bad night in the post -- but both are legitimate possibilities.
Suspect Team: Tennessee
It seems crazy to list a Pat Summit-coached team under this category but the Lady Vols (with eight losses) don't inspire deep faith, even though they've won seven of their last eight games. There is talent here, for sure, and the senior class, led by Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen, has the motivation of not wanting to become the first Pat Summitt class not to appear in a Final Four.
Twitter Account to Follow: Elena Delle Donne, Delaware (@de11edonne)
The Pick: Baylor
Book the ticket for Denver today.
State of the No. 1: Notre Dame
The Irish have been driven all season by the memory of last year's championship game loss to Texas A&M. Sure, they enter the tournament on a loss to UConn in the Big East title game, but this senior-laden group can brush that setback aside. What makes Notre Dame dangerous is its ability to score: The Irish are second in the nation in points (79.6) and third in field goal percentage (47.3%) and have a backcourt among the best in the nation with junior point guard Skylar Diggins (17.0 ppg) and senior guard Natalie Novosel (15.0)
But the key is two-time Big East Defensive Player of the Year senior forward Devereaux Peters (12.2 ppg, 9.4 rpg). Peters must be an inside presence -- and stay out of foul trouble -- for Notre Dame to get to where it wants to go. A potential regional final against No. 2 Maryland or No. 3 Texas A&M would be a major test.
Players to Watch: Brittany Boyd, (Cal), Sydney Carter (Texas A&M), Skylar Diggins (Notre Dame), Sarah Hansen (Florida Gulf Coast), Lykendra Johnson (Michigan State), Natalie Novosel (Notre Dame), Devereaux Peters (Notre Dame), Shoni Schimmel (Louisville), Alyssa Thomas (Maryland), Megan Van Tatenhove (St. Bonaventure), and Tyra White (Texas A&M).
Bracketbuster: St. Bonaventure
The A-10 champs won 29 games, including 18 of its last 19, and allowed only 53.1 points this season -- making them a Top 20 team in the category. The Bonnies are led by a pair of seniors -- guard Jessica Jenkins and forward Megan Van Tatenhove -- and are a smart, turnover-free team that will be a tough out.
Juiciest Matchup: Maryland-Louisville (possible Sweet 16)
An entertaining game featuring two All-America-caliber players -- Louisville's flashy point guard Shoni Schimmel and Maryland's terrific scoring forward Alyssa Thomas -- that would also be a bellwether to see how strong the ACC was this year.
Suspect Team: Iowa
The Hawkeyes lost star Jaime Printy to a knee injury in February and went meekly against Nebraska in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament.
Twitter Account To Follow: Skylar Diggins, Notre Dame (@skydigg4)
The Pick: Notre Dame.
Plenty of people will jump off the bandwagon after the Big East tournament loss to UConn. Don't be one of them. This is an experienced team that's been pointing to this moment all season. You'll see it in Denver.
State of the No. 1: UConn
For all of UConn's struggles this season, the Huskies lost just four times, and three of those losses were to Baylor and Notre Dame (which defeated the Huskies twice). They also avenged a pair of defeats to Notre Dame with a convincing win over the Irish in the Big East tournament final.
UConn, as always, plays aggressive defense. The Huskies lead the country in scoring defense (45.7 points per game) and every player in the rotation, except freshman forward Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, has Final Four experience. Sophomore guard Bria Hartley is the key to UConn's fortunes. She's a big-game player -- she had 25 points in a 66--61 loss to Baylor on Dec 18 -- and the Huskies need her to score in this tournament. The same goes for Stefanie Dolson. The 6-foot-5 sophomore center been inconsistent this year, but has played well this month. UConn is peaking at the right time. Watch out.
Players To Watch: Alex Bentley (Penn State), Courtney Clements, (San Diego State), Tasha Dickey, (Kansas State), Stefanie Dolson (UConn), Bria Hartley (UConn), Tiffany Hayes (UConn), Maggie Lucas (Penn State), Shenise Johnson (Miami), A'dia Mathies (Kentucky), Niveen Rasheed , (Princeton), Kayla Standish (Gonzaga), Riquna Williams (Miami), and Julie Wojta, (Green Bay)
Bracketbuster: Green Bay
The Phoenix has the game's best under-the-radar player in senior forward Julie Wojta, who scored 29 points against Detroit in the Horizon League final. Sure, Green Bay will have to open against Iowa State in Ames, but its entire team experienced a Sweet 16 last year. The Phoenix won't be rattled.
Juiciest Matchup: No. 1 UConn vs. No. 3 Miami (possible Elite Eight)
UConn's defense against the high-scoring and dynamic Miami senior backcourt of Shenise Johnson and Riquna Williams? Sign us up. Of course, we're not convinced that Miami could guard UConn's scorers but it would be fun to watch.
Suspect Team: Kentucky
Kentucky does not inspire a lot of confidence with four losses in its last eight games, and the Wildcats were pounded on the boards by LSU in an 11-point defeat in the SEC semifinals. While A'dia Mathies is a great scorer, Kentucky's second and third options don't scare anyone.
Twitter Account To Follow: Keyla Snowden, Kentucky (@ keylaSnowden)
The Pick: UConn
The Huskies are peaking at the right time and the region's No. 2 and No. 3 teams are beatable.
State of the No. 1: Stanford
The Cardinal are the top seed in the most jeopardy, and though coach Tara VanDerveer is tired of hearing that the Pac-12 conference is down this year, the truth is it is. Stanford has played a weak schedule compared to the other No. 1s, but senior forward Nnemkadi Ogwumike (21.6 ppg and 10.5 rpg) is the nation's most tournament-tested player, having led Stanford to three consecutive Final Fours. Two sophomores -- forward Chiney Ogwumike, her sister and the conference's Defensive Player of the Year (15.9 points and 10.1 rebounds), and shooting guard Toni Kokenis (10.1 points) give the older Ogwumike some scoring help. Stanford's fortunes deep in the tournament will rest on the point guard position. Both freshman Amber Orrange and senior Lindy La Rocque have been unsteady.
Players To Watch: Chelsea Gray (Duke), Christina Foggie (Vanderbilt), Whitney Hand (Oklahoma), Tavelyn James (Eastern Michigan), Nadirah McKenith (St. John's), Chinay Ogwumike (Stanford), Nnemkadi Ogwumike (Stanford), Brittany Rayburn (Purdue), Ebony Rowe (Middle Tennessee), Shenneika Smith (St. John's) and Elizabeth Williams (Duke).
Bracketbuster: Vanderbilt
If Vandy can beat Middle Tennessee State in the opening round, it will face a beatable Duke team in Nashville. Melanie Balcomb's teams always play tough and Christina Foggie is a big-time scorer who can hit the three.
Juiciest Matchup: Duke-St. John's (possible Sweet 16)
St. John's likes to pound the ball inside-outside with guard Nadirah McKenith and senior forward Da'Shena Stevens, while Duke has a great point guard in sophomore Chelsea Gray and the game's next great center in freshman Elizabeth Williams. This should be a down-to-the-wire game but Duke is short on players and St. John's can pull the upset.
Suspect Team: Oklahoma
Sheri Coale is a terrific coach with a great tournament resume, but the Sooners have been inconsistent lately, evening losing by 25 points to Texas on Feb. 25. The good news? Their first two games are in Norman.
Twitter Account To Follow: Nneka Ogwumike, Stanford (@nnemkadi30)
The Pick: St. John's
We're rolling the dice and picking St. John's to beat Stanford in a fantastic regional final. St. John's defeated UConn, Louisville and Georgetown late in the season and jelled with the return of Stevens after a knee injury. McKenith is a terrific guard and coach Kim Barnes-Arico gets her teams to compete every possession. Someone is going to beat Stanford in this tournament, and the sense here is that it will come before the Final Four.

Making corn fungicide decisions
By ROD SWOBODA
The 2011 crop season got off to a slow start for many farmers, and with delayed planting came concerns about reduced yields. Growers are encouraged to protect yield potential by taking advantage of every opportunity to produce the highest-quality grain and crops. One way to achieve a greater profit is by improving the standability of corn plants and preventing lodging at harvest.
Losing corn due to poor standability is frustrating. It can be a nightmare getting a combine through broken stalks and lodged plants. While stalk damage from strong wind and hail is sometimes unavoidable, there are ways to ensure stronger stalks to withstand severe weather.
"Standability is important so the corn stands as long as possible until you can get in to harvest it," says Alison Robertson, an Iowa State University Extension plant pathologist. "If you don't have good standability, and you get a strong wind or a strong storm coming through, that'll knock a lot of corn to the ground. You have to reduce your harvesting speed so you can get in and pick up as much of the corn that's lying on the ground as possible."
Key Points
• Improving corn standability, harvestability is a goal growers strive to achieve.
• Leaf diseases contribute to stalk rot issues; managing diseases is important.
• Ask the seed company if it thinks a hybrid should be treated with foliar fungicide.
In addition to reducing harvest efficiency, harvesting lodged corn with a combine can prove to be a fruitless task. "When corn lodges, oftentimes the ears are in close contact with the ground and that can lead to ear rot," says Robertson. "If the growers even manage to get the ears off the ground with the combine, they still may have a problem with poor-quality grain because of the ear rot developing in that downed corn."
The potential yield loss from decreased standability can put a strain on both a grower's combine and wallet. Annual yield losses due to stalk lodging in the U.S. are estimated between 5% and 25%. In addition to outright yield losses, grain quality may also decline as a result of stalk lodging.
The remaining lodged corn may also provide seed for the following year's volunteer corn in rotated fields. But all hope is not lost. Instead of leaving the harvestability of the corn crop to chance, Robertson has some recommendations about getting the most from what is planted.
Manage corn leaf diseases
"Growers should talk with their seed dealer and try and get hybrids that have better standability scores," says Robertson. "The other thing we know is there's a very strong relationship between leaf diseases and stalk rots, and therefore decreased standability, so managing leaf diseases in the field is also important."
Research shows strobilurin fungicides offer disease control and physiological benefits, such as stronger stalks and improved standability leading to an easier harvest. Strobilurin fungicides are designed to provide corn with effective control against a wide array of yield-robbing diseases that can cause stalk rot and decreased stands.
"We've seen excellent field performance from strobilurin fungicides, such as Quilt Xcel," says Eric Tedford, fungicide technical brand manager for Syngenta.
"We've researched the physiological benefits of strobilurin fungicides since their development in 1992, and results have shown the enhanced plant performance produces thicker, stronger stalks, less lodging and greater harvest efficiencies. This translates into greater return on investment."
Should you apply fungicide?
Should you apply a foliar fungicide on your corn? Or should you apply a fungicide on some acres and not others?
Purists who go strictly by the rules of Integrated Pest Management will tell you to only spray if signs of disease warrant it. Those on the other end of the spectrum look at using a fungicide as a type of insurance, especially in corn-after-corn fields, and may spray every acre whether they see a disease lesion or not.
If you sprayed this year, how do you know if you are getting a return on your investment? How will you make the spray-or-not-spray decision next year?
One way to help you make that decision is to consult with your seed representative. Most companies are finding out whether it pays or not is typically a hybrid-by-hybrid answer. The seed company, which knows the genetics, can tell you if they think a hybrid should be treated with a foliar fungicide. For example, Golden Harvest has a two-page summary of all its hybrids, and makes it clear which are likely to see a response and which aren't if little disease is present. With disease present, an application is more likely to pay on any hybrid.
Consult your seed sales rep
The table in Syngenta's summary shows what happened when Quilt Xcel fungicide was applied. Hybrids were divided into four classes. For the two classes where Golden Harvest plant breeders expected a response, there was a response in 83% and 80% of all comparisons, respectively. The application produced an economic return 77% and 60% of the time, respectively.
But for the two categories where breeders predicted a response was less likely under low to moderate disease levels, the yield response was 74% and 52% of the time, respectively, but there was economic payback only 43% and 17%. If you were planting the hybrid that responded 83% vs. 42% of the time, wouldn't you want to know? Your seed representative may have similar information for the hybrids he or she sells.

Gooney Bird's brain will need to be as warm as possible this month, because Mrs. Pidgeon is teaching her class about poetry. Who knew there could be so many different ways to write a poem? Haikus, couplets, limericks-Mrs. Pidgeon's students soon find that writing good poetry takes a lot of hard work and creative thinking. Gooney Bird and her classmates are up to the challenge.

One by one Mrs. Pidgeon's students create costumes and stories and morals and excitement. Everyone except Nicholas. What on earth is making Nicholas so unhappy? Leave it to Gooney Bird, of course, to help him solve his problem . . . in a truly fabulous way.
Gossamerby Lois Lowry
Where do dreams come from? What stealthy nighttime messengers are the guardians of our most deeply hidden hopes and our half-forgotten fears? Drawing on her rich imagination, two-time Newbery winner Lois Lowry confronts these questions and explores the conflicts between the gentle bits and pieces of the past that come to life in dream, and the darker horrors that find their form in nightmare. In a haunting story that tiptoes between reality and imagination, two people-a lonely, sensitive woman and a damaged, angry boy-face their own histories and discover what they can be to one another, renewed by the strength that comes from a tiny, caring creature they will never see. Gossamer is perfect for readers not quite ready for Lois Lowry's Newbery-Award winner The Giver and also for readers interested in dreams, nightmares, spirits and the dream world.
Looking Backby Lois Lowry
"I would like to introduce you to this book. It has no plot. It is about moments, memories, fragments, falsehoods, and fantasies. It is about things that happened, which caused other things to happen, so that eventually stories emerged." Children as well as adults often ask Lois Lowry where the ideas for her stories came from. In this fascinating, moving autobiography, the Newbery Medalist answers this and many other questions. Her writing often transports readers into her own world. She explores her rich history through family pictures, memories, and recollections of childhood friends. She details pivotal moments that affected her life, inspired her writing, and that magically evolved into rich and wonderful stories that one is reluctant to put down. Lowry fans, and anyone interested in the writing process, will tremendously enjoy this poignant trip through a remarkable writer's past.
Messenger (Giver Quartet #3)by Lois Lowry

But Forest has become hostile to Matty as well, and he must risk everything to fight his way through it, armed only with an emerging power he cannot yet explain or understand.
Number The Starsby Lois Lowry

But it's now 1943, and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching in their town. The Nazis won't stop.

The Silent Boyby Lois Lowry
Katy Thatcher was the bright and curious daughter of the town doctor. She was fascinated by her father's work, and even as a child she knew that she too wanted to be a doctor. She wanted to know about people. Perhaps it was this, her insatiable curiosity, or simply the charm of Jacob's gentle intimacy with animals large and small, that fueled their friendship. Although Jacob never spoke to her or even looked at her directly, Katy grew to understand him from the moments they spent together quietly singing to the horses. She knew there was meaning in the sounds he made and purpose behind his movements. So when events took an unexpected and tragic turn, it was Katy alone who could unravel the mystery of what had occurred, and why. A two-time recipient of the prestigious Newbery Medal, acclaimed author Lois Lowry presents a sensitive and moving story of a wide-eyed young girl growing up at the beginning of the twentieth century and the influence of the farm community around her. Through Katy's eyes, readers can see the human face so often hidden under modern psychological terminology and experience for themselves the haunting impact of her friendship with the silent boy.
Son (Giver Quartet #4)by Lois Lowry
They called her Water Claire. When she washed up on their shore, no one knew that she came from a society where emotions and colors didn't exist. That she had become a Vessel at age thirteen. That she had carried a Product at age fourteen. That it had been stolen from her body. Claire had a son. But what became of him she never knew. What was his name? Was he even alive? She was supposed to forget him, but that was impossible. Now Claire will stop at nothing to find her child, even if it means making an unimaginable sacrifice. Son thrusts readers once again into the chilling world of the Newbery Medal winning book, The Giver, as well as Gathering Blue and Messenger where a new hero emerges. In this thrilling series finale, the startling and long-awaited conclusion to Lois Lowry's epic tale culminates in a final clash between good and evil.
Stay!by Lois Lowry
Born between a board fence and a set of trash cans, the hero of this absorbing new novel by Newbery Medalist Lois Lowry is a lowly stray dog. Abandoned at an early age by his mother and separated from his siblings, he faces every challenge with his nose upturned and his lustrous tail held high. His journey out of puppyhood, during which he becomes the loyal companion to a homeless man, discovers an ear for poetry, and meets his match in his brutal rival, Scar, is a story of perseverance in a world of danger and unexpected opportunity. But through it all, he cannot forget his frail little sister, Wispy, and he does not rest until he finds her again. Told with humor and keen insight into both canine and human behavior, the story of this proud survivor will delight dog-lovers and adventure

The Willoughbysby Lois Lowry
Abandoned by their ill-humored parents to the care of an odious nanny, Tim, the twins, Barnaby A and Barnaby B, and their sister, Jane, attempt to fulfill their roles as good oldfashioned children. Following the models set in lauded tales from A Christmas Carol to Mary Poppins, the four Willoughbys hope to attain their proscribed happy ending too, or at least a satisfyingly maudlin one. However, it is an unquestionably ruthless act that sets in motion the transformations that lead to their salvation and to happy endings for not only the four children, but their nanny, an abandoned baby, a candy magnate, and his long-lost son too. Replete with a tongue-in-cheek glossary and bibliography, this hilarious and decidedly old-fashioned parody pays playful homage to classic works of children's literature.
Your Move, J.P.!by Lois Lowry
Lowry's third novel about J. P. and his sister has J. P. in love and doing all sorts of weird things, such as wearing deodorant and even telling a lie to impress Angela.
Zooman Samby Lois Lowry
bookjacket Sam Krupnik has to dress up for future job day at school--but Sam doesn't want just any job in his future! Sam wants to be a zookeeper, just like Zookeeper Jake in his favorite picture book. His innovative mom and sister help him create a memorable costume which he wears ... and wears ... and wears ... long after his firefighter classmates have gone back to their blue jeans. Encouraged by Mrs. Bennett, his teacher, Sam embarks on a lengthy project to teach his preschool class about a zookeeper's responsibilities, from the feeding of cubs to the training of lions. Along the way, often painfully, he learns what the job of teacher really requires: scheduling, perseverance, tact, and the wearing of many different hats. As always, the patient and loving Krupnik family stands by as Anastasia's irrepressible little brother struggles with a set of almost impossible goals. Readers of all ages will cheer for Sam as the embroidery thread that spells ZOOMAN SAM over his heart unravels and quite surprisingly transforms him into something more wonderful than even he could have imagined.

Do they broadcast any hockey games out there or do you depend on the internet?
We have American ESPN, but they never show our beloved Kings, just the top teams and most Canadian teams, luckily we have the internet to keep up to date, i used to listen to the online radio feed until Ice cool posted the online video link on here which is great, saying that it was a bit of a horror show saturday against the Coyotes, i hope for better tommorow against the Wild.
If they lose to the Wild everyone gets a generous helping of Haggis and Spotted Dick.

"CM Punk might want to be careful with trying MMA. Those boys aren't getting paid to let him win like they do in WWE. I wish him luck, though."
- Kenny Dykstra explaining to CM Punk that wrestling is not real
The widely held belief is that Brock Lesnar would be immediately booked into a rematch against Alistair Overeem if he decides to return to UFC. Overeem was the person that defeated him for the heavyweight championship before he decided to retire from MMA and return to WWE.
There will be a Lethal Lockdown match at TNA Lockdown 2014 this year. Team Dixie will consists of Ethan Carter, Bobby Roode, James Storm and Rockstar Spud. They will face Team MVP, which will include MVP, Gunner, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards.
After weeks of teasing the move, the James Storm heel turn has finally happened. Impact Wrestling is being taped right now, and the long time TNA star turned on Gunner as he was challenging Brutus Magnus for the world heavyweight championship.
"It's tough, even Hulk Hogan was a tough loss to accept. Sting has been the cornerstone of the company, Jarrett founded the company and I think he might be the best heel in the business, and AJ Styles is just the best athlete I've ever been in the ring with. From three different perspectives it is a tough pill to swallow because they are three of the best. When you don't have them in the company you hope to god that the young talent steps up, guys like Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, and James Storm seem to be stepping up. Will they replace Sting? You can't replace Sting, will they replace AJ? Probably not, AJ is irreplaceable, but will they become their own characters and do really well, yes they will do phenomenally well and it's not about replacing anymore, it's about making new stars."
- Kurt Angle on TNA losing stars recently
Impact Wrestling is being taped in Dublin this week, and James Storm has already landed in Ireland. The longtime TNA star has a heavy schedule of promotional events and media appearances ahead of him. Storm will more than likely be handling the marketing duties in England and Scotland as well.
Some details have emerged about the reality television show that James Storm has been pitching to various Hollywood executives. The show would follow the TNA star as he attempts to open up a brand new bar. Word has it that there are a few studios receptive to the idea.
Another person that TNA wants to push to the main event scene soon is Gunner. Many backstage feel that he can be elevated enough to be viewed as a worthy challenger for Brutus Magnus and the world title. The success of his story line with James Storm should help dictate that.
Since TNA wants Brutus Magnus to have a solid run as the heavyweight champion, the creative department will be lining up some challengers, so he can work memorable feuds. Aside from Samoa Joe, another candidate being discussed is James Storm, who has routinely gotten the best reactions from the live audiences.
James Storm recently revealed in an interview that plans are still in place for him to have his own reality television show. The former TNA World Heavyweight Champion has some more meetings set up in Hollywood later this month to discuss those plans.

This is what I am witnessing: a base doctor, studying radiology and drinking diet Mountain Dew.

He even has fancy new toys for the doctors, stethoscopes and models of joints and bones.
